Hank Williams Jr. I`ve Got Rights Lyrics

I`ve Got Rights Lyrics

I went down to the Mary Carter paint store

I said give me one of them Smith and Wesson, Magnum 44s

'Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done

This man killed my wife and my only little son



I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial

He had his big named lawyer and he had that smirkey smile

Oh yeah, he got you off on a technicality

But you'll have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me



'Cause I got rights I got rights too

And this time there won't be no damn lawyer and system to protect you

But I'm gonna read you I'm gonna read you your rights

You gotta right to know that you're gonna

Go to hell one of these black nights



When the trial was over he had the nerve to say that's the way it goes

I said well hoss you better get you some corks

'Cause you're gonna have to plug up a few holes

Guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time

But it kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life



Hey, I got rights I got some rights too

No this time there ain't no damn lawyers and systems to save you
